\n\t\t\tThe result of the survey, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research among 1,270 Palestinians, was published Tuesday. It showed that only 33 percent of Palestinians wanted Abbas to remain in office. Three quarters believed the Trump administration was not serious about a peace deal.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe poll showed 52 percent of Palestinians still supported a two-state solution, but 57 percent said it was no longer feasible because of Israel’s\u00a0settlement expansion.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Survey Research poll had an error margin of three percentage points.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe latest survey comes a day ahead of a meeting between Abbas and Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tPresident Trump, who has not publicly supported establishing a Palestinian state or offered another path forward, said this week that his administration was “working very hard” toward a deal.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Trump administration has been by and large vague about the potential establishment of a Palestinian state. Earlier this year, Washington suggested that it would no longer insist on the so-called two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which envisages the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIn 1948, Israeli forces seized vast expanses of Palestinian territories in Western-backed military operations and forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homeland.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIsrael also occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem al-Quds, and the Gaza Strip during the Six-Day War in 1967. It later annexed East Jerusalem al-Quds in a move not recognized by the international community.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIsrael later withdrew from Gaza but has kept the coastal enclave under a crippling siege since 2007.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIsrael has also launched several wars on the Palestinian sliver, the last of which began in early July 2014. The Israeli military aggression, which ended on August 26 that year, killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians. Over 11,100 others were also wounded.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tPalestinian officials say they want the resolution of the conflict with Tel Aviv based on the two-state solution along the pre-1967 boundaries.\u00a0However, Israel has been building settlements deep within territory that the Palestinians want for their future state.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAbbas\u2019s popularity sinking<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAbbas\u2019s popularity has been sinking in the absence of strong diplomacy against Israel, a stagnating West Bank economy and the resurgence of forms of corruption that had been significantly reduced under former Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAbbas, 82, is suddenly surrounded by a series of political challenges that amount to jockeying for succession.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLast month, Abbas threatened to gradually cut financial support to the impoverished strip of Gaza \u201cby 100 percent\u201d until Palestinian resistance movement Hamas\u00a0agreed to reconcile with Fatah.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHamas has shunned contacts with Israel, while the Palestinian Authority maintains security coordination\u00a0with Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHamas has\u00a0recently accepted \u201ckey\u201d reconciliation conditions offered by Fatah party\u2019s head,\u00a0Abbas, including nationwide elections.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe coordination\u00a0and whether Hamas would subject its security forces to the Palestinian Authority\u00a0command have persistently thrown off the prospect of reconciliation between the Palestinian factions.<\/p>\n
